I was prepared for a vaginal inspection but had expected it to be carried out by a woman. Mr Durnea was very professional but I found it psychologically challenging.

I have worked with Mr. Durnea for some years now (both at Spire and OSD / One). He has a rare skill set that crosses over urology, gynaecology and lower GI surgery because of his specialist knowledge and experience of dealing with pelvic floor issues. I have referred him many patients with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and have only heard good reviews.
